meep tablet reviews

If your child has never been exposed to tablet technology, and you are looking for a tablet to give your child that you don’t need to use yourself, the Meep! is a valid choice at $150.
The Meep! kids’ tablet from Oregon Scientific has great ideas but still has a lot of growing up to do.
The music, videos, and suggested websites are intended for an age range that is too young to use the device or the bottom end of the Meep! age range.
If your child has been exposed to other tablets, they might find the Meep! slow and too constricting.
The Meep! store is filled with handpicked apps and games from the Google Play store.

Since I bought the Meep! I've seen at least 4 other kids tablets hit the market and the Meep! seems to have the least amount of consumer information out there.
I was originally going to trash this video but figured some parents out there might need this detail before the holiday season.

I do not cover the specs of the device during the video, it's just a product walk-through.

And while hidden, the MEEP! X2 does have Play Store access which will allow you to build up a staple of apps that you can eventually move over to another device should you feel your young one is ready to graduate to a more grown up tablet.
For example, the left side contains access to the child and parent account sections, as well as the News and Notifications sections, the browser, communicator, MEEP! Store and YouTube.
The Play Store access is available by way of the left side navigation panel in the Parental Controls section.
Otherwise, the Parental Controls section shows Parental Settings, Notifications and Child Account sections in that same left side navigation panel.

She advised me that my early issues with the parental control portal were due to me using the wrong browser (I use Chrome), so I dutifully opened up a Firefox browser as advised, only for the Meep site itself to tell me to switch to Chrome! And of course, every time I asked a question, I got put on hold for two minutes while she figured out the answer.

If you have spotty internet service like I do, you may find that apps from Google Play don’t fully install the first time – same with the OTA upgrades, and this can be frustrating because the Meep doesn’t deal with that gracefully.

I am relieved that most of the bugs I initially experienced with the Meep have been fixed with operating system upgrades that I’ve downloaded to the Meep, and in the two days I’ve been able to play with the Meep since then, I’ve been having a much better time using the Meep.

There are a few apps I have had to install a couple times before they’d work, and the OTA upgrades can take days because they seem to stop updating when there’s a blip in internet service, yet the meep sits there acting like it’s doing something (which it isn’t).

***EDIT 10/12/12: To readers with a Meep!: If you’re having any kind of bugs or issues, please upgrade to the latest version of the OTA software (Version 1.2 on Oct 12, 2012), which fixed nearly all of the bugs and issues I have experienced with the Meep.

If your intention is to give it as a gift, I’d open it a week early and download all the upgrades (it took my Meep a number of days to fully upgrade) plus get the parental portal set up, so the gift will be fun and not frustrating.

I thought the rest of the road would be smooth sailing….NOPE! Even after the system upgrades, I was never able to figure out the Meep Store! I set up the accounts, but it would not let me purchase anything! It took FOREVER and a day to load anything…just kept THINKING, and THINKING, and THINKING.

Parents can set the Meep’s browser to present a kid-friendly Web, which will block children from opening blacklisted sites, such as Ashleymadison.com, Cosmo.com, Urbandictionary.com or Buzzfeed.com. It will also prevent searches for inappropriate words, including movie titles that contain them, such as "Kick-Ass 2." Oregon Scientific does not offer access to the list of banned words or URLs.
Tapping this button pops out a round menu of icons for various features: E-Books, Camera, Meep Store, Help, Safety, Parental Settings, Settings, Apps, YouTube, Web Browser, Pictures, Music, Videos and Games.
Oregon Scientific offers a unique instant messaging-style program for the Meep called Communicator; this allows kids to message their parents, as long as the parents are logged into the Web portal.
The Oregon Scientific Meep is an Android tablet designed for kids ages 6 to 10, but your child may age out of the target demo by the time this slate responds to his finger taps.
Verdict: While it has excellent parental controls, the Oregon Scientific Meep Android tablet is just too sluggish to keep kids engaged.
Oregon Scientific describes the Meep tablet as "built to withstand energetic children." The chunky, white plastic slate measures 8.62 x 5.51 x 0.98 inches and comes wrapped in a removable silicone skin to protect against bumps and scratches.

On the right-hand side is one that scrolls between Apps, Games, Music, Video, eBooks, Camera, the Meep Store, Settings, Help and a bizarre Safety ‘app’ which gives kids tips and rules about using the Meep, such as ‘Do not bully anyone’.
Also, clicking on the Account button in the web interface brings up a link to open Google Play on the Meep itself (this is the only way to launch it) so you can search for and install apps locally.

Designed for children ages six and up, the MEEP! tablet is a powerful touch-screen Wi-Fi-enabled tablet that has ebooks, apps, games, and music –and all of it can be controlled by the built-in parental-control software to make sure kids only see appropriate content.
Easy-to-access parental controls are available from any computer or mobile device to control your child’s MEEP! tablet, including games played, websites they can visit, and setting time limits.
Built with the same operating system as today’s hottest selling tablets and phones, the MEEP! tablet offers a huge variety of apps and media to entertain and inform kids.
Buy games and apps directly through your tablet at the MEEP! store using virtual coins purchased by your parents.
The innovative, interactive, rugged Wi-Fi enabled MEEP! tablet features amazing zForce® touch screen technology ideal for kids age 6 and above.
Our testers were impressed with the MEEP! tablet’s build quality, sensitive touch screen, and wide selection of fun, built-in apps.
Our testers encountered some odd behavior with the software occasionally, but overall the MEEP! tablet offers an intuitive interface that kids are sure to find enjoyable.
If you have spotty internet service like I do, you may find that apps from Google Play don’t fully install the first time – same with the OTA upgrades, and this can be frustrating because the Meep doesn’t deal with that gracefully.

Depending on the parental control settings you can also access the google play store which is standard for any Android tablet, what this means is that while your child can access the MEEP store to download games and apps, if there is an android app that you want your kids to have access to you can use the parental controls to access the google play store and download any android app for them.
It has a brilliant parent control and can control what my children can access on it, i downloaded all their fav websites, apps music and then go into parent mode and it becomes a normal adult tablet … We did look at the meep and kurio but the specs were better on the nabi than the other 2 and the reviews on the meep were awful even before christmas, so glad we never got it… Even the tech’s on the meep facebook page just left their customers and not helping them with their problems and no updates for days.

Tabeo, Kurio, Nabi and now the Kuno: what’s with all of the tablets that sound like sushi restaurants? Seriously, the Kuno 3 is a 10-inch tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich on top of a 1.2 GHz ARM A8 chip, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB of storage.
The use of replacable Li-Ion batteries means that the Kineo can outlast other tablets, too. Brainchild says the Kineo and its predecessors have been used by hundreds of schools and districts over the years, though the company declined to reveal any names to me.
The Portland company is pitching the MEEP as having all of the kid-friendly touches of the LeapPad and InnoTab (ruggedized plastic case, parental controls, curated MEEP app store) but with grown-up features (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 7-inch screen, 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 512 MB RAM, streaming video to TV via HDMI slot).
So I’m eager to get me and my kids’ hands on a Nabi 2 and see if it lives up to the hype. Check out my in-depth review of the Fuhu Nabi 2, which I consider one of, if not THE best, of this new crop of Android kids tablets.

Was thinking kids love computers & internet and at the same time I would be able to keep them blocked from some things, but not everything.
Wish I would have read the reviews first ! I researched many other childrens’ tablets& found one with good reviews on several websites and ordered that one.
Difficult I tried repeatedly to set this product up, I figured if a 50 year old adult couldn’t figure this out how in the world was a child going to set up so I returned this product.
Disappointed Bought this for my tween … the load time is awful, the instructions are inadequate, response time is practically non existant.
I had to call the 800 number to ask why different things that I tried did not work and she told me that she would have to tell the support dept to fix it and call me back.

There are no instructions, you have to spend time doing a update download first off, the "help" with the manual in it is very poor.

Tablets for tykes: How the Kurio, MEEP! and Nabi 2 stack up Any parent with a smartphone or tablet computer is likely sharing the thing with an offspring or two.
Canadian users can only add apps from the on-board Kurio Store, which has a limited selection of additional content, and books through the Aldiko Premium app, which doesn’t offer a single children’s book but does have Forbidden Pleasure and Naughty.
It’s not the speediest tablet out there and a little heavy on the “freemium” content, constantly prodding kids to ask their parents to pony up for the “full” version of any given app, but MEEP! has a decent selection of content out of the box.
Kurio’s out-of-the-box offering is simple and solid, first with its parental control section to set age gates for content as well as limits to play time, such as two hours max or a two hour mandatory break.

Has loads of free apps and games films books all reasonable price.THE IMPORTANT THING IS THIS TABLET IS DESIGNED FOR KIDS AND IF YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO HAVE FLASH PLAYER AND IPLAYER ETC BUY A TABLET NOT DESIGNED FOR KIDS, A LOT OF THESE REVIEWS SEEM TO BE BASED ON THE PARENTS OWN EXPECTATIONS RATHER THAN THE DESIGNED FOR KIDS PURPOSE! I have 5 kids and not one to waste money and this tablet IS a headache to begin with but once set up is great.
From what I can see these must be downloaded directly from the the tablet – AFTER giving your child access to do so (again there is no "Parent" area on the table for access to controls, software, etc) – and it does not appear that these can be sent from the parents’ profile.
THIS IS THE RIGHT TABLET FOR KIDS IN MY OPINION BASED ON SOLID PRODUCT, GREAT PORTAL FACILITY FOR PARENT CONTROL AND HAS EVERYTHING A CHILD BETWEEN 4-12 COULD POSSIBLY NEED.
IT HAS A PARENT PORTAL SO YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING THEY DO ON A LOG, YOU CAN CONTROL THEIR COINS FOR THE MEEP STORE AND HRS FOR PLAYING GAMES ETC, BLOCK THINGS YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO USE, MEEP ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN BLACK LIST OF WORDS AND CONTENT THEY WILL AUTO NOT ALLOW.

LexiBook Tablet ($150 by LexiBook) is a French import is a $150 seven inch Android with parental controls, and apps that include a “school curriculum for ages 6-12.” Ports include a headphone jack, HDMI out, a micro SD card and a peripheral port that can work with an external keyboard.
Child Pad ($130 by Archos ) is powered by Android 4.0, the tablet specs are familiar: a 1GHz processor, a meager 1 GB of RAM and a specialized app store powered by AppsLib ( ), which filters apps down to 14 categories, with “10,000 games, entertainment, communication, multimedia, books, comics, sports and more.” The device comes with 28 kids apps pre-loaded.
Other add-ons include a talking toy cash register with play money (transactions are tracked on the tablet screen, and play money lets children use “real” bills and coins); a game controller and nabi Pet, an “interactive toy that kids can name and raise by feeding it, walking it, playing with it.” The nabi Jr.

– The Parent area can only be accessed from a separate device – at this time only a Google Chrome or Safari browser on a PC or [allegedly] an iPad – though ironically, the Chrome for Android tablets only works on 4.0 Ice Cream and Safari is not available – so that’s not an option for many of us early innovators.
The first thing you discover is that most of the content is restricted until you register via the Meep website and allow access to specific functionality.
I purchase the Meep for my daughter as she is addicted to my wife’s iphone and her gran’s ipad and the interactive games on these devices are an ideal way to get her to learn while having fun.
I started attempting to access the Meep website to register at around 10.30 Xmas morning.

The Meep! X2 is a kids tablet that was released by Oregon Scientific in October 2013.
There are quad core tablets out there, but they are usually more costly, and dual core tends to be the norm for decent kids tablet models.
The bumper is a classic feature of most kids tablets, as it helps prevents bumps when the tablet gets dropped.
Not only can kids and parents download apps from the Meep! Store, it also has access to the Android Play Store.
Granted, the video quality of this tablet is not the greatest, but kids seem to enjoy it nonetheless.
However, although this tablet can be converted to an adult tablet by choosing the parental option, it is not to be confused with other family tablets, such as the Kindle Fire HD.
Overall, the software for this tablet has received good reviews for its ease of use for kids as well as adults.
Read the following for our full specs review for the Meep! X2 Tablet.
However, its redeeming quality seems to be the selection of educational apps, the Meep! Store interface, and the parental controls.
Our Meep! X2 Tablet Review is a summary of the most important aspects of a tablet.

Oregon Scientific has just released a tablet designed just for kids and combines sturdy design and parental controls with the latest Android 4.0 operating system.
